Hi, we are German born, but living in NZ for over 16 years, we have a lifestyle block with sheep and cattle and an olive grove.We have two kids, but they left home, our relationship is very strong with them. We also have a dog called Luke.We are a hard working couple, Detlev works in centre Whangarei 30km away from home (can take you into town) and goes there 5 days a week.In our free time we go fishing and Detlev is also a scuba diver. We enjoy long walks on the beach.We love cooking and nice dinners.

The winter is gone and spring is in full blossom.Our property is now also due for some attention! The lawns need to be mowed, the weeds want to be picked, plants like to be pruned and on rainy days we have areas that would like to be dusted. If you like to give us a hand that we can make some ticks on our to-do-list that would be awesome. Our place is nice for relaxing and enjoying the summer as we get always told.
